Annual Greek Week activities begin today and last hrough Saturday. Greek Week Director and Tau Kappa Epsilon frater- ity member Jason Peterson says games, contests and vents are aimed at promoting group unity. “It is a week-long event where the main goals are to nify the Greek community and also help out with corn- unity service,” he says. Money raised from T-shirt sales, sponsorships and • idvertisement sales will be donated to A&M’s United iVay, Peterson says. More than 30 fraternities and sororities are involved I n today’s banner contest at Sorority Row, near Harvey |Road. Greek system members will treat children from the jBrazos Valley Boys and Girls clubs to food, fun and names Tuesday at the mall. A picnic for sororities and fraternities is scheduled I for Wednesday, and Thursday night is Greeks night jut at the Zephyr Club. Greek Week participants will wrap up the week’s ac tivities Friday and Saturday with a volleyball tourna ment at Sneaker’s Club on Harvey Road. He says students who aren’t members of a fraternity or sorority also are invited to participate. “We have six campus leaders (participating) such as Dr. Malon Sutherland (associate vice president for stu dent affairs), Dr. Carolyn Adair (director of student ac tivities) and basketball coach Kermit Davis, and anyone can buy a chance to wan one of them as a note-taker in class,” Peterson said. “It will cost them a dollar or one non-perishable food item, which will be given to the Brazos Valley Food Bank.” Tickets will be sold this week in the Blocker Building, and the drawing will be Saturday during the volleyball tournament. Peterson says Greek Week stirs mixed emotions among A&M’s student body. “I don’t see the Greek system as being any different than any other organization on campus,” he says. “W- hatever you are involved (in) are all student activities, and they all do their individual thing.” Peterson says he hopes Greek Week will show that Greeks are not “stereotypical Greeks” who only like to party. “We’re not just out there partying,” he says. “We do a lot of community service.” Registration continues Touch-tone telephone registra- ion by classification began Thurs- s|x\l lay and will continue until Nov. 27.
